In almost every stock you have people that try to make money by putting in low bids. For example Microsoft may sell at $27 , but you will always see low bids at $23, $20 or even $15... Just see the order book for any of the stocks trading on Island, and you will see what I mean. They just hope that somebody panics with the stock and sells at the first price he can get, which could be this bid at 90. Then this opportunist will put them up for sale at 99 and hope to make the quick 10% profit. Has nothing to do with pre-dividend. It just means you now have a marketmaker at DBourse (not me..:-) Ciao Danny --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use e-gold's Secure Randomized Keyboard (SRK) when accessing your e-gold account(s) via the web and shopping cart interfaces to help thwart keystroke loggers and common viruses.
